An undervalued facet of scriptural end-time prophecy: God tells us in advance that some things *will* happen. Certain deconstruction & purging is inevitable. Societies follow a cyclical pattern; at some point, the fruit of corrupt human culture is overripe & harvest is over.
Why is it important to know that deconstruction is inevitable? It grants us permission to look away from the crumbling great & spacious building (evils that must fall) & focus all our energy on that which *can* be saved, that which can & must be built. We’re here to build Zion.
Hugh Nibley compared the Last Days to a theater. When one show ends, the set must be broken down & a new one built for what comes next. We’re not here to break down the old set; it will come down on its own. We’re the builders of the new set—a place where Christ will return.

When this was released, it seemed rather dull to me. Why a proclamation abt practices already common to most of the civilized world? But here we are. & here I am, tweeting it all:

The Family: A Proclamation to the World

First Presidency & Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Sept 1995
“We, The First Presidency & the Council of the 12 Apostles, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man & a woman is ordained of God & that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.”
“All Human Beings—male & female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, & as such, each has a divine nature & destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity & purpose.”

“Turn their gaze away from Him & toward themselves. Keep them watching their own minds & trying to produce *feelings* there by the action of their own wills...” —(The demon Screwtape on how to misdirect a person’s prayers) C.S. Lewis
“When they meant to ask Him for charity, let them instead start trying to manufacture charitable feelings for themselves. When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave...” #Lewis #Screwtape
“When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them be trying to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling...” #Lewis #Screwtape

“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” John 20

“To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know....To others it is given to believe, that they also might have eternal life” DC46.
It’s human to value concrete knowledge over faith or belief (we’re concrete beings living in a physical world, after all.) But God values your belief above your knowledge. How much nobler to trust him for what you can’t see nor touch. How humble & submissive to his will.
One who believes but has yet to obtain the fulness of knowledge he desires may find himself feeling inadequate in his testimony. (What a grave lie satan plants in a heart’s fertile soil!) God hears not résumés but prayers. He counts not what we witness but what we do.

“Woe unto you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites!” (Matt23) Now as then, we live in an impossibly complex social system set up to virtue-signal & cancel people. No one is left out—there are rules that reach anyone. Why? Bc scared people don’t speak. They are easily led. #HearHim
How did Christ handle it? He spoke the truth anyway. He valued eternal law over personal comfort. He rebuked the oppressors & defended the weak. He abandoned all thought of reputation, even until they took his life. Will we exhibit the smallest part of his courage to follow him?
This life is made to cancel us. If you haven’t been cancelled by the world yet, now is a good time try harder. If you find yourself at ease with society, examine your priorities. What can you do today to remind God you’re on his side, & remind the devil you’re not his friend?

“Your spirit is an eternal entity. Your Heavenly Father has known you for a very long time. You, as His son or daughter, were chosen by Him to come to earth at this precise time, to be a leader in His great work on earth.” #RussellMNelson
He has known you for a very long time, and you have known *him* for a very long time. He hasn’t forgotten you; he watches every moment & assists even when you don’t notice. You, on the other hand, had to forget. That’s the test. To win is to remember, embrace, & endure. #HearHim
This is the entire individual work of a mortal human being: to remember him. It’s in you, waiting to be discovered. We who have already remembered are under covenant to help others remember, because he loves them as infinitely as he loves each of us.
